Did not know about this: SkyTran Colorado, a unit of Mountain View, Calif.-based SkyTran Inc wants to build a monorail between Boulder and Longmont. Good timing to ride on the wave of hyperloop PR.
SkyTran is a three person pod, and CDOT says they’re open to the idea not only on the plains but also in the mountains. More articles here http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2013/08/skytran_boulder_longmont.php and here http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2013/08/hyperloop_daryl_oster_elon_musk_colorado.php, the general theme is that there two Colorado CEO that have invented this industry. the reason why these ideas of hyperloops and monorails are because:
Evacuated Hyperloop Transport, E3T, developed by Daryl Oster, in Louisville.
SkyTran Colorado CEO R. Paul Williamson.
Maybe these two companies should work together…or I should interview them…respectivly.
